Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 905

Sylas coughed up a mouthful of blood, another Great Ape collapsing before him. He wiped his lips with the back of a scaled hand, heaving for breath as he rested his palms on his knees.

Overwhelming Constitution seemed nice, but it wasn’t endless. A much weaker strength, when it battered against a high Constitution—especially in the same spots continuously—would eventually accumulate damage no matter the gap.

As the Great Apes grew more skilled, they sensed the gap in stats faster and faster. This past one immediately understood and used more hit-and-run tactics, attacking the same three locations on Sylas’ body again and again.

One at the side of his thigh, another right where his chest and shoulder met, and the last his head itself.

He felt his ears ringing, his movement hindered a great deal by what was not just almost certainly a concussion, but the limp in his leg. To make matters worse, lifting his left arm had become a laborsome affair.

It wasn’t just pain; he could always tolerate that. But there was such a solid and growing lump there that his flexibility was limited and he couldn’t control his body the way he wanted to.

He was beginning to grow frustrated.

This wasn’t like him, but he also wasn’t someone who couldn’t figure things out quickly too. He couldn’t remember ever struggling with comprehension-related matters before.

Even with the tomes and things of the matter, he didn’t feel that his problem was that he couldn’t understand them, but rather that he didn’t have the time to. That was why he had chosen to rely on Gralith—for the sake of efficiency.

But this time, he had focused his entire being on this; everything else had been suppressed, and there was nothing to do but fight and fight.

And yet he still wasn’t understanding.

The swipe of a claw came for his head and Sylas could only raise two forearms to block.

He barely managed to do so. Not only was his Constitution breaking down, but his opponents had Physical stats now crossing 4000.

He was lifted through the air and almost collapsed in the distance.

Managing to keep his footing, he made an attempt to pre-emptively dodge the next attack when he felt a sort of aura lock onto him. It warped around his arms, knocking him off balance and nearly to the ground.

He stumbled, unable to recover as quickly as he wanted.

With a rushed movement, he pulled his arms up again to block a shin coming for the side of his head.

He tumbled to the side, but right at that moment, the frustration in his eyes seemed to have faded away, a deathly coldness sitting within them.

’I see…’

Sylas popped to his feet with a somersault.

A foot met his chest, perfectly timed as though the Great Ape knew exactly what he was planning to do.

His body bowed and he felt that his ribs would have already given in had his Constitution not been so high. But he could also feel that the Great Apes, between their own Comprehension and Physical stats, were very close to overwhelming his over 9000 Constitution. Once that happened, he would likely die.
